Overdue Blog | Smashing Pumpkins | 19 Year Wait
When I first saw its ad on the tv, there was no doubt we will be there. 3 minutes later, we were already on ticketnet purchasing the tickets. I believe the picture below says it all! Thanks Billy for all the 19 years of influence.. and now to see you live... smashing! truly unforgettable!!

| Signboards everywhere.... and this, at the entrance of the colliseum |
 |
Unfortunately, the colliseum wasnt fully packed due to the friggin tropical storm that flooded 90% of Manila. I feel sorry for those who purchased the tickets and could only tweet their misery of trying so hard to reach Araneta.

On the other end.... since Smashing Pumpkins reignited this blog... just a brief update on what has been, and now.
Time has come to move on and plan for what's ahead. Thats the biggest question mark and the answer that kept eluding us has finally appeared partially. Its going to be 2013 and 2014.
Bourne Legacy... nah... cinematography is weak compared to the previous 3 Bourne franchises. This one's a bit stale... tried to hard.
iPad next on the wish list... considering the fact it has been there for so long... even my mom has one!! hahaha...
Coron, here I come in December... after a complete screw up by Agoda,... they managed to make amends by giving us an attractive alternative... of course... with partial refunds!
Taken one step into Contract Management and found it dreadful... still learning the game... for now, I will stick to Project Management.
Joined Fitness First to really up the tempo of my life... nah.. wouldnt use that word... probably to stay healthy, yes... 2 weeks into the routine... I feel like dying already! hahaha...
Typhoon Haiku and the tropical monsoon or storm that went by... good riddance... 3 days of non stop torrential rain coupled with strong winds = 80% Submerging of Manila
...and that didnt stop us from attending SP's gig... thats what 19 years of wait is...
Successfully cooked Beef Rendang after a year's contemplation! In time for Buka Puasa last week. Amongst the new recipes tried out: Hainanese Chicken Rice | Assam Pork/Chicken
Our new Travelogue together enhanced... Local: Pearl Farm | Pangkor Island Beach Resort | Dos Palmas Resort | The Tides Boracay | Patio Pacific Boracay | Sumilon Bluewater Resort |
International Travelogue: Taiwan | Greece | Malaysia | Philippines
.... now, diving is one dramatic turn of events I might try before year end...
Amanpulo and El Nido remains elusive at the moment.... maybe not so much on El Nido (only a matter of time) but definitely Amanpulo (pricey shit)
Clover Residences... coming soon!
Probably thats about as much as I can reveal or think of now... more laters! Thanks Smashing Pumpkins for reigniting this blog... I thought it was dead...
